Managed PoE+ Switch 8 Gigabit Ports + 2x SFP, 70 W – DCN S4200-10P-PL-SI

DCN S4200-10P-PL-SI - managed 8-port PoE+ switch with SFP uplinks

The DCN S4200-10P-PL-SI is a managed L2 switch with 8 Gigabit RJ45 PoE+ ports and 2 SFP slots for optical modules. The 20 Gbps switching fabric and 15 Mpps throughput deliver full non-blocking performance on all ports at once. The 70 W PoE budget powers IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phones directly over the network cable. A device for surveillance installers, Wi-Fi network integrators and administrators of small office networks who need a reliable, silent (passive cooling) switch with CLI and Web GUI management.

How many devices does the 70 W budget power?

The 70 W PoE budget of the S4200-10P-PL-SI is enough to power about 4-6 standard-class IP cameras (drawing ~10-15 W each) or 4-5 Wi-Fi access points (~12-15 W). VoIP phones usually draw 4-7 W, so you can power over a dozen of them. The 802.3at (PoE+) standard delivers up to 30 W on a single port, enough for PTZ cameras with a chassis heater or Wi-Fi 6 APs — with the caveat that the total draw must not exceed the 70 W overall budget.

Proven manufacturer, support in Europe

DCN (Digital China Networks) is a recognised manufacturer of professional network solutions. The European branch DCN Europe belongs to the Salumanus group - owner of the Fibermarkt store - so the warranty is handled within the EU and technical support is provided with no language barrier. The switch is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE/PoE+) and IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN) standards, which guarantees interoperation with other manufacturers' devices.

Key features

• 8x Gigabit RJ45 PoE+ - each port with 802.3af/at power up to 30 W, 70 W total budget
• 2x SFP 100/1000 - slots for optical modules for fibre uplinks and linking cabinets
• 20 Gbps fabric, 15 Mpps - full non-blocking performance on all ports
• 8K MAC table - support for extensive networks with many devices
• 4K VLAN (802.1Q) - traffic segmentation, isolating surveillance from the office network
• Link Aggregation (LACP) - bundling ports into a single higher-throughput channel
• ACL 1536 entries - traffic filtering and security policies at port level
• Jumbo Frame 10K - efficient transfer of large data packets
• 16 IP interfaces (VLAN) - routing between VLAN networks at the L2+ layer
• Passive cooling - no fan, silent operation in an office or reception
• CLI + Web GUI management - syntax close to Cisco IOS and an intuitive web panel
• 100-240 V AC power - universal mains power, draw up to 80 W

Applications - for installers, integrators and administrators

IP surveillance: power and transmission from 8 IP cameras over a single UTP cable - with no separate power supplies. The SFP uplink carries the image over fibre to the NVR recorder in the server room.

Wi-Fi networks: power for 802.3at access points (Wi-Fi 5/6) directly from the switch. The VLAN separates the guest network from the corporate one, and link aggregation increases throughput to the core.

Small offices and shops: a silent, passively cooled switch for the network cabinet. It powers VoIP phones, terminals and network printers, serving a whole floor's infrastructure.

Fibre aggregation: two SFP slots let you connect the switch to the backbone network via optical modules over distances from a few hundred metres to several dozen kilometres.

Management like on Cisco switches - familiar CLI

The DCN S4200-10P-PL-SI offers a command-line interface (CLI) with syntax very close to Cisco IOS. An administrator familiar with Cisco equipment configures VLANs, trunk/access ports and link aggregation without learning a new command language - the same commands work almost identically.

Example syntax similar to Cisco IOS. You can do the same in the Web GUI without the CLI.
